Electron application Object Browser shows only generic "Panel" objects in tree

I've worked a lot with TestComplete on Java/JavaFX desktop apps.  This is my first encounter with Electron.  It does not seem correct that 99%+ of the objects are generic Panels.  There are very few ...

Thanks for the quick reply.  Yes, all requirements met.  Please see attached for an example of my object tree.  TC finds the objects through Object Spy (red-highlights individual objects).  But as mentioned, all (almost all) are id'd as Panel objects.  Very limiting for identification and useful methods/functions.

        Sure, of course 🙂 

        Any chance there's a workaround for an older Electron version?  Trying to get approval on a newer version of Electron may take us a looong time LOL.
